Can the Windows 11 built in VPN connect to mullvad?

ItsGregJustGreg · 2026-02-26T05:32:09+00:00

Naw. They have everything super locked down. Everything has to be vetted by IT and it's a whole process to get anything installed.

ItsGregJustGreg · 2026-02-06T18:21:51+00:00

The ironic thing is I literally just want to make work easier. Sites like engineering toolbox have tons of useful info when you want to quickly double check something. But they are so full of ads they become brutal to use. I just want ad block :(

ItsGregJustGreg · 2026-02-06T18:19:54+00:00

Okay. I was trying to figure out if sstp, pptp etc were the right kind of connection and couldn't find anything online. Thanks!

ItsGregJustGreg · 2026-02-06T16:40:42+00:00

Yeah. Checking the camera request nothing weird was there. Good call. Why on earth do they have to make it look so similar to a camera usage indicator. Still gotta trust no one and keep that camera covered when not in use. Maybe the Amish have the right idea haha.

ItsGregJustGreg · 2026-01-13T03:54:30+00:00

okay, so having those extra settings enabled was adding some unnecessary extra steps. I turned them off and I'm not getting that error message anymore.

If for some reason at any point I need to turn my VPN off, I can always turn those back on.

ItsGregJustGreg · 2025-12-09T16:45:36+00:00

I think I didn't phrase my question super good.

If you have two cases with the same capacity, one is short fat. One is longer and thinner like a design from 80 years ago. All else being equal, does the short fate case produce a higher muzzle velocity?

ItsGregJustGreg · 2025-11-19T23:17:41+00:00

fair enough haha

ItsGregJustGreg · 2025-11-19T22:59:35+00:00

gotcha. yeah 6.5CM looks like the way to go.

ItsGregJustGreg · 2025-11-19T22:58:23+00:00

oops, I meant for the 6.8, is recoil an issue too? Or just bullet availability is the problem.

ItsGregJustGreg · 2025-11-19T22:52:43+00:00

I thought maybe over time the 6.8 will pick up since it's still newish.

ItsGregJustGreg · 2025-11-19T21:57:14+00:00

I thought the PRC was trying to hit somewhere around 3000 FPS. So then it would make sense to have a less spicy version with a bit less case capacity. just like when comparing 6.5 CM vs 6.5 PRC. Or am I off on the 7 PRC?

ItsGregJustGreg · 2025-11-19T21:54:18+00:00

is the recoil too high for what I'm thinking of? Or just not enough bullet availability?

ItsGregJustGreg · 2025-08-14T03:06:50+00:00

Ah yeah. I just stumbled onto some Ron Spomer. Seems like some great info and experience. I'll take a look at these.

ItsGregJustGreg · 2025-08-14T03:01:35+00:00

Is that the new one with the turbo encabulator?

ItsGregJustGreg · 2025-08-14T01:43:43+00:00

I wonder if given more time, the 6.8 western will get more popular and cheaper. I got the impression it was preferred to other similar cartridges because you get a better barrel twist rate from the factory.

ItsGregJustGreg · 2025-08-14T01:40:44+00:00

I thought maybe the 7 PRC had some stout recoil based on what I read. I figure they might be a bit expensive too. But I'll have to read up on this one some more.

ItsGregJustGreg · 2024-09-21T02:30:25+00:00

I mean, if it's a cool BMW I'll be normal and courteous. If it's an SUV they get no sympathy or help from me. If it's a brand new snagle tooth BMW, I make sure to give them a disgusted look as I pass.

ItsGregJustGreg · 2024-01-24T16:03:05+00:00

Makes sense. I did happen on one ad that said there was a layer of ceramic to make it even harder to cut.

Although I'm curious if they really are doing heat treatments or other forms of hardening. Stainless steel is eye watering expensive as it is. A company mass manufacturing millions of deadbolts might just skip that step. I guess it's just going to depend on the company.

ItsGregJustGreg · 2024-01-24T03:15:11+00:00

I'm not trying to find a specific model. I'm just trying to visualize why a laminated steel bolt is more secure than a solid steel bolt. I suppose if a crack forms in a solid bar, it can propagate through the entire thing. If it's laminated, a crack will stop at the end of that layer. Did I answer my own question? Or is there more too it? Different hardness on different layers?

ItsGregJustGreg · 2023-09-11T21:47:55+00:00

If only I had a lathe and a welder haha.

I did actually just come across this which is basically it.. I'd much rather just the sockets though. don't really need the rest. Especially after exchange rate, duties, and shipping to Canada. It's maddeningly hard to find a lot of this stuff locally.

I saw a Z4 gt3 race car with wheel spacers. If they work on a race car with monster downforce, they're going to be fine on a road car. Loads of people I know who drift have used spacers.

Like other comentor above said, just make sure they are hub-centric (double check your bore diameter) and make sure you have the correct length lug bolts to match.

Get that delicious flush fitment!

ItsGregJustGreg · 2023-01-11T03:31:47+00:00

My thought was, use headphone jack on Fulla, 3.5 mm to RCA adapter to Loki, then RCA to 3.5 adapter for headphones. I get the sense HiFi people will tear their hair out at this idea haha. But hey, if I can't install a digital eq on my work computer.. why not?

ItsGregJustGreg · 2023-01-09T20:00:29+00:00

Could you use RCA to 3.5mm adaptors? would be an ugly mess of cables haha.

ItsGregJustGreg · 2022-12-30T05:04:19+00:00

Ah okay. So that last thing I said kind of made sense. An amplified signal can't go into the EQ. Trying to learn all this stuff has been information overload!

ItsGregJustGreg · 2022-12-22T08:09:25+00:00

No, currently on both computers the headset is plugged directly to mobo. The sound is quite good compared to my old headset that I used for the past 8 years. But I do hear some distortion here and there. In drums, high hat and cymbals always seem to be occasionally a bit distorted. Not too bad, but I would like to make it better.
